The Power and The Honor Foundation - Original MOTU Art Preservation

The Power and The Honor Foundation is here! It is with great pleasure that we are able to share this exciting new adventure with you, the fans of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and She-Ra Princess of Power.

The Power and The Honor Foundation is a fan-funded, non-profit organization that is dedicated to documenting, archiving, and sharing the rich history of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and She-Ra Princess of Power. As such, we will be sharing some of the most amazing collections of artwork, documents, and toys from their earliest days.

The Foundation has already secured thousands of pieces from original artists and designers from Mattel and Filmation. In addition to the pieces themselves, we will share their stories to further document the creation and evolution of the characters, toys, cartoons, and merchandise.

Please make sure to visit our website and follow us on Twitter and Facebook. We have some exciting ways of sharing this artwork with the fans and will keep you updated.

Can't say I blame them.
People take artwork like this all the time and try to make a buck with it, or use it on their own site without permission.
I'm sure you can thank those people for the watermarks.

This sounds like fun. I am curious though, who are the people who funded this non-profit organization? Clearly someone wanted it (heck, I am for it), but was it corporate, some fans, weird 80's trend buffs? What promts a group to begin this process? I only ask because I wouldn't want the brand cheapened by some schemed up way to make a buck.

I have a dialogue with the foundation, providing informations and some art.
This is totally serious.
They are fans and collectors like us, actually big fans and collector!
I have faith in this project and the plans I heard ,and personally, I can't wait!

They are legit. They asked me for some historical info on stuff a while back. From what I gather, it's some hardcore collectors who are looking to preserve a whole bunch of awesome artwork. Sorta like a museum archive or the like.

And they will be at Power-Con. They are loaning us a lot of kick butt art to put on display for people to see.
They are going to have a table with info about their foundation.

So, to refrain from making any shady comments like 'torrent plz?', what can a fan from Europe do to get their hands on the official book and support the cause? If there is nothing, would it be too insane to expect some sort of share in the form of e.g. watermarked/bad quality scans or anything? Or does one just need to swallow the bad pill and try to be happy for everyone else?

Just wanted to jump in here and thank the guys at Power and Honor, the book is amazing and the fact I got Mark Taylor to sign his forward and Ted Mayer to sign one of his fav pieces of art inside was just a super extra bonus.

Too bad i didnt get Emiliano to sign it He always looked to busy for me to bug him
